Growlin' Willie Harmonica Trick Shortnin' Bread

[ayom5600]

Dude you rock totally helped me over a rough spot with that :)

[GrowlinWillie]

I'll try to explain how I do it. I block the back of the harmonica with my hands, making it air tight. When I draw a chord, the air can't come in, except where I let it come in. With my thumb on the high end of the harmonica, I let the air come in the hole I want to play, between my thumb and cheek. Hope that helped!

I've seen him do it in person. It's just him. The "trick" is actually a very difficult technique that I can't do (I play harmonica) but there is one simple and important thing about it which I will leave to "Willie" to reveal if he wants to. If you watch the video really closely you might be able to figure it out.

There has to be a trick to that, was someone else playing at the same time?

[sirhc141]

@joe36750  NOPE i see him do this too ,

[joe36750]

How's he do that?

[stone152]

Oops! I meant to click on five stars, not one. Sorry! This guy is clearly very talented and of course I don't know him and I'm not getting free harmonica lessons from him... Ahem. Heh, yeah.
